To Whom it may concern,
Our rezoning Group engaged Chris Harding of Frank Commercial to sell four blocks of our Rezoned Residential land from September through to mid November 2023.
Chris provided an exemplary service with the utmost integrity and accuracy, whilst maintaining a great understanding of each landowner's needs. His in-depth reports provided each week throughout the short campaign gave us greater knowledge of the "Developer" community, together with his knowledge of how they work and think was of great assistance to us. Chris's innate ability to bring our sale to an amazing conclusion with multiple offers shows the pure drive he has to succeed for his Vendor/s.
Importantly, Chris worked very closely with our Solicitor during the whole process - from choosing him as Agent to the culmination of the sale becoming "unconditional".
From a Vendor perspective, to choose an experienced Commercial Agent who has the ability, professionalism and contacts with Developers throughout New Zealand, spread our capture net far and wide, with the presented offers reflecting that.
We would have no hesitation in recommending Chris to any landowner wishing to achieve the best result possible.
